[Feat. Request] Provide a YUV444 chroma subsampling option #25

Closed garoto closed 4 months ago

garoto commented 4 months ago

I mostly record little snippets of cmd.exe/terminal output, and YUV420 I believe isn't ideal for this purpose. Does the underlying API support this pixel format? If yes, can we have it as an option please?

I would want this very much too! But unfortunately MFT does not expose 444 or even 422 chroma subsampling options for h264/h265 video encoding. Such feature would require custom code paths for using each of nvidia/amd/intel video libraries directly.

Really? Gee, major bummer...
